Amount it could cost to develop, build, fly and maintain all the F-35s on order for 55 years — the lives of the planes — according to Pentagon estimates cited by Bloomberg.[/Quote]
55 years…
This years deficit is expect around $426 billion.
So the annual run amounts to 6.4% of this years deficit.
The total 55 year costs is equal to just the deficit that Bush transitioned to Obama. It’s 1/5 the total increase in debt since Obama took office.
How’d they spend the 7 billion in the last seven years on those shovel ready jobs?
Instead of whining about the next 55 years, start asking what They did with fives times that amount in the last seven.
